Sure, signing a transaction is no problem, and second layers should work fine anywhere, but if savings and balance sheets are settled on the base layer and fees from mining are continuously injected into the economy of earth and the half of the inner solar system that's within 10 min of earth, then anything outside of that 10 min window is effectively a colony, and Earth benefits from the same cantillon effects as Spain had when it received a galleon full of gold and silver. Ultimately, the stage is set for a conflict.
And that's great - the only way humanity could take to space is if it were a grand conflict. "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players..."
How is your spaceship propelled? The shape suggests it's not using chemical propellent... right?
